Hi, I'm an ecomodding newbie but have lurked here for quite a while. Sorry for not reading the whole thread on this topic, but the thing I heard about Elio was that they had hoped to get the same government funding that Fisker got (but then Fisker was unable to stay in business), but whichever U.S. gov't department or agency this was, they never gave Elio the funding they were hoping for. And that was why the car never went into production, because they were counting on this government money (I assume it would have been at least tens of millions.) Sounds like a poor business model to me. Apologies if this has already been covered in the thread.
